Comment on Anon works out
bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 2 weeks agoHow is that your takeaway from this entertaining fabrication?
A fictional story about a husband/father being cruel to his family until they leave doesn’t exactly seem like fun entertainment to me 😅
4chan’s idea of a joke tends to involve some kind of suffering or cruelty, I don’t really get the appeal. It shows up on my feed and I can’t help but think “someone wants to read this sort of thing…?”
At least the one about the lady pissing herself and jumping in a canal or whatever was kinda silly and just a story about doing something dumb
It’s creative writing with a subversion of expectations. You expect anon to be in a public gym with a random uncontrolled child, not at home with his own child. You side with him until the very end. The whiplash is the joke, not child cruelty.
Yeah, I understand that it’s a subversion of what’s expected, it’s just also depressing
“The joke is that you thought it was just a weird interaction with strangers, but he’s actually being shitty father and abusive husband!” doesn’t really work for me 🤷🏻 I get why it’s funny to other people, I just can’t really relate, and so much of 4chan humor has that same shared thread of being an asshole, life being a bleak existence, or making up a strawman to attack a particular population. It’s just kinda depressing to me :/
May I ask why you’re on greentext? It’s literally just 4chan screenshots and if you know that kind of humor doesn’t sit well with you then it might be better to avoid it.

You forgot to mention that the fabrication is gay

How is it gay if he has wife and children?

That’s the fake part. The gay part is: why is he lifting? Wanna look good for the men or some other gay shit?
